There are very few rivals that offer anything close to the Juke's blend of style and personality.
The Kia Soul is probably the closest to the Juke in spirit, although the Soul is far less of a niche model—more an upright small wagon.
The Hyundai Veloster is closest in general design quirkiness, with its asymmetrical three-door layout and blacked out pillars.
The new Honda HR-V offers a more mass-market counterpoint to the Juke, and it's based on the Honda Fit hatchback so it should pack in a lot of practicality and space.
The upcoming Mazda CX-3 could prove an especially strong rival to the Juke, as it takes a sportier tack than the HR-V.
One other model that competes with the Juke is the Chevrolet Trax.
Although roughly the same size as the Juke, the Trax has a more spacious interior, although it's far less sporty or enjoyable to drive.

The 2015 Hyundai Veloster is more sporty hatch than true sports car. Its design is sometimes a demerit, but that makes it no less unique. |
